JEWELLERY

Each piece is designed with care to minimise environmental impact, while fair pay ensures that artisan communities are supported and empowered. Choosing ethical South African handcrafted jewellery allows you to express your individual style while embracing sustainable values
Our Story
Creative DeZigns began in 1986, founded by my late mum after raising her family in Johannesburg and returning to the UK. Inspired by the creativity and spirit of South Africa, she recognised a need for unique, affordable accessories that felt personal and different from the mass-produced options on the high street - and offered UK women a way to express themselves with confidence and individuality. Having worked closely with her on this passion-fuelled journey, I stepped into the lead nearly two decades ago, continuing her vision, with a focus on small-batch production, ethical fashion and a deep respect for South African craftsmanship. Today, I work directly with skilled artisans in Cape Town and Nepal to create stylish, easy-to-wear clothing and jewellery designed for real women and real lives. These are feel-good pieces - thoughtfully made, ethically sourced, and full of the laid-back, sun-soaked spirit of South Africa.

Penny Brown (verified owner) –
Great top, I have this in white and also an older print (no longer available). Good quality fabric and cut. True to size guide.
Would give it 5 stars if the straps were a little wider at the top to cover my bra straps – I still have bought 2 though so not a big deal.
If you give it a good shake after washing and don’t use fabric conditioner you won’t need to iron it.
Excellent customer service from Creative Dezigns, highly recommend.
